Our son just got his letter and he is honored to be wait-listed for CGA. Thank you to everyone who has been praying and encouraging us stragglers. Wishing good news for everyone still waiting.
Wishing all you guys the best! I've decided to decline the CGA and accept the Naval Academy's appointment. So, those of you who are on the waitlist are probably glad to hear that!
-Future USNA Class of 2014
i did not get in.....
but i am proably going to MMI
If you mean you're going to Kings Point (MMI) you have a world of opportunities! Our son is across the water right now at Maritime and on weekends they talk...heard many good things and wish you only the very best!
MMI=Marion Military Institute. Many go there for Service Academy Prep, both sponsored by a SA, and unsponsored, with the hopes of reapplying and getting an appointment the following year.
i am trying to get out of the enlisted world and go to Marion Military and self prep....
thanks everybody for your kind words and support
I was pulling for you. Sorry you didn't make it.
But you know what, I'm impressed with your initiative. There aren't that many BM's in the Coast Guard showing your drive. You've already demonstrated your courage and leadership-coxswains and crew are amazing on small boats.
So I'd just like to encourage you to continue. I've always thought that the best officers to work for were the ones that have come up through the ranks.
Keep moving forward through the next set of open doors and here's to your future success'.
